Will a 185/55 tire fit on a 2020 F3 Ltd?

[fhartell]

Did the search route and nothing came up.
My 2020 F3 Limited needs new rubber front and rear and I saw somewhere that 185/55's can fit in the front on the F3.
Anyone have any luck with this?
Want better rubber than the Kenda's have.
Any other suggestions for front and rear?

I vote a "BIG NO" on 185/55's! Your looking for trouble with fender clearance.
I have 175/55R 15 on my 2020RTL and they just clear with no extra tolerance.

Nothing came up when you typed in “tire”, fhartel ?! …….odd, to say the least, as there are hundreds of threads showing the many brands and sizes that work on the F3……. but a 185 is not among them….. 175 is about as wide as you can go.
Our brands out here are different to yours, but have another search. I’m sure some US riders will be along shortly with US brands.

PROBABLY searched the 185/55, and nobody runs that size

No one runs that size.



The OEM front size tire is: 165/55 R15.

The OEM rear tire size is 225/50 R15.

Years ago I put a 185/50-15 on my 2014 RT ( basic style fenders ) .... I had to bend the fender brackets AND use a few washers to get them to fit ...... After all that I discovered the NANNY didn't like the Improved lateral traction achieved by the much wider tires. ..... The VSS system as designed will limit how much lateral traction you can have ..... So stick with 165/-15 size .... JMHO ....Mike :thumbup:

175 is about as big as you can go without major modifications. 175 is more than enough rubber on the ground. 165's will give you all the traction you need but some like the aggressive look of the 175's. 175's don't play well with the 2020+ RT's. But will work on the rest.
